Meeting at Roydon Community Area the tasks for the morning were to thin the Birch saplings growing alongside the path, to create nests for the Stag Beetle larvae, to cut down any unstable young trees and to rake the paths free of debris. The Silver Birch saplings were cut at ground level and piled to one side to thin the mass of Silver Birch saplings. For the Stag Beetle larvae, holes were dug 2 feet down then filled with 3-4foot lengths of rotten and living Birch branches inserted vertically into the holes. Paths were cleared and any debris was raked up.
